    I forgot to mention that the video shows 5pp for Venom Bite, but decided to change it since to more closely match thunder.
    Old: 5pp 120 power, 85% accuracy, 33% chance to poison
    New: 10pp 120 power, 70% accuracy, 30% chance to poison

    I decided to lower the accuracy because poison status already deals 1/8th the damage each turn and Fire blast which accuracy is 85% has only 10% effect chance. The lower accuracy then balanced by the power point increase.

    Comparison to gen 2 moves:
    Fire blast: 5 pp, 120 power, 85% acc, 10% effect
    Hydro pump: 5 pp, 120 power, 80% acc, --% effect
    Thunder: 10 pp, 120 power, 70% acc, 30% effect





  • After some thinking I came up with this.
    Conjecture:

    =+b²
    N  = c²+d²
    
    a = 2*c*d
    b =-c²
    
    integers a,b,c,d>0
    
    For any integer N that can be expressed as both N²=+b² and N=c²+, the relationship a=2*c*d holds.  
    

    Is it enough proof just to show that the above equations are true when substituting them to N² and N equations?
    If a = 2*c*d then one leg of the Pythagorean triple definitely contains c and d factors and ‘2’. This might be related to Pythagorean triple parametrization.

    I fixed the flawed ChatGPT counterexample finder script and now it gives this list of all numbers including composites which don’t follow these rules, such as 58. Here’s sub-sequence of A004431 numbers that don’t follow the rules:

    Numbers which neither Pythagorean side is divisible by 4
    Composites: [10, 26, 34, 50, 58, 74, 82, 90, 106, 122, 130, 146, 170, 178...]
    This is identical to Sums of two distinct odd squares A339977 which makes sense as if c,d>1 and odd, they must be 3 or bigger hence their factors are missing the extra ‘2’, unlike primes where one of c or d is always even.
    Even composites appear to follow a=2*c*d relation. The prime pythagorean side divisibility by 4 appears to be just a side effect.














  • Yea! That’s why it’s more useful to specify traditional, mythological or a certain type of a dragon that have become more popular in recent fantasy.

    The dragon term doesn’t necessarily need a strict definition. It’s just my preference that having structure is better and then you can decide how to break the norms. Although, most of these new variants share the same name ‘dragon’.
    I still see the evolution of the term fascinating even if it is becoming more generic.



  • Same thing with alcohol prohibition. People are going to break the law, legal or not. The US is said to be the freedom land, but women can’t have autonomy over their bodies.
    What I gathered is that 70% of the US congress is men, so it’s not their freedom that they sacrifice.  
    Christian values are important to some voters, so politicians can gain free points by promising anti-abortion laws.  
    The politicians who make such decisions think one term at a time and disregard the consequences as long as it doesn’t affect them. If they actually cared, they would also advocate for childcare benefits.
